Developing We-Space via Resonance Workshop

Embodying the Descending Path in Adult Development
The idea that development is a “transcend and include” process is a partial-truth that results in significant collective shadow in the integral diaspora—specifically it supports an ascending bias and subtle arrogance in narratives about adult development.

The Evolution of Planetary Awakening
Planetary views began seeding our developmental perspectives since the 1960’s and have continued to evolve. The screenplay of the post-modern integral version of the planetary awakening is being written right now, as we socially construct each other here, in this field. But what does “planetary awakening” mean in an integral world? This talk will suggest […]
